Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs (use 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2½ cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Splash of milk, if needed
For the Filling
1¼ cups chocolate-hazelnut spread
½ cup white chocolate chips
8 small chocolate candy bars
Instructions
Prepare the Cookie Dough
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light, fluffy, and creamy. Add one whole egg and one additional egg yolk, then mix until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix just until a thick dough forms, then gently fold in the milk chocolate chips. If the dough feels too dry, add a small splash of milk until it comes together.
Chill the Dough
Divide the dough into two portions, with one portion about two-thirds of the dough and the second about one-third. Shape each into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling makes the dough easier to roll and helps maintain the pie’s structure while baking.
Create the Pie Crust
Lightly flour your work surface and roll the larger dough disc into a 9-inch circle. Carefully transfer it into an 8-inch springform pan, pressing the dough evenly across the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides to create a sturdy crust.
Prepare the Chocolate Filling
Place the chocolate-hazelnut spread into a bowl and stir until smooth. Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Spread most of the chocolate mixture over the cookie dough base. Arrange the chocolate candy bars evenly over the filling, then cover them with the remaining chocolate spread, smoothing the surface. Leave about ½ inch of space below the top edge of the crust. Refrigerate the filled crust for 20 minutes.
Add the Top Layer
Roll the remaining dough into a circle about 7½ inches in diameter. Carefully place it over the chilled filling and gently press the edges together to completely seal the pie. Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 1 more hour before baking.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), or 320°F (160°C) for fan-assisted ovens.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake for 50–60 minutes. Once the top becomes golden brown, loosely cover it with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning while the center continues to bake.
Cool and Serve
Allow the pie to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. For the cleanest slices and the perfect gooey texture, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before removing the springform ring and slicing.

Pro Tips for Best Results
Use room-temperature butter for a smooth, creamy cookie dough.
Chill the dough thoroughly before rolling to prevent sticking and shrinking.
Do not overbake—the center should remain slightly soft and will continue setting as it cools.
Cover the pie loosely with foil once the top is golden to keep it from browning too quickly.
Refrigerate before slicing for neat, bakery-style pieces.
Variations
Use dark chocolate or peanut butter cups instead of chocolate candy bars.
Add chopped toasted hazelnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
Mix mini chocolate chips into the filling for even more chocolate in every bite.
Drizzle melted milk or white chocolate over the cooled pie before serving.
